The Thylacine Test: A Wild Debate Over the Tasmanian Tiger

This is proof that thylacines exist and they are breeding.
Imagine stumbling upon a set of photos that could rewrite history. In this episode of 'Days Like These', Neil Waters, president of The Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia, believes he's done just that. He claims to have captured images of a family of thylacines, the elusive Tasmanian Tigers thought to be extinct since the 1980s. But what happens when he shows these photos to Nick Mooney, a renowned wildlife expert? Sparks fly, and a heated debate ensues.
This episode isn't just about the possible existence of a legendary creature; it's about the clash between belief and skepticism, the passion for wildlife conservation, and the lengths people will go to prove their point. As trail cameras and expert analyses come into play, you'll find yourself questioning whether the thylacine could still be out there. Perfect for those who love a good mystery and care about wildlife, this episode promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.
